Wullie Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It won't change unless we stop getting results. As was stated pre-match, it's his usual rinse-and-repeat steps. Stick with something until we lose, then start again with something else. His current idea being a flat 4-4-2 featuring Shola. The flat 4-4-2 with Shola was fine in the first half, we created plenty of chances. Had some bad moments defensively mind. The problem in the second half wasn't the formation, it was that we stopped pressing, sat deep and invited pressure. I don't hate Pardew but I get totally p*ssed off when we get a lead and do this. Its ridiculous, has cost us points and we show no signs of changing it. was it a decision to do that today though, gouffran can't keep up the pressure for 90, cabaye's substitution was more fatigue than tactical and sissoko had been away aswell. do you think the plan is to sit so deep after taking a lead ? seemed like we ran out of legs more than anything tactical.

Even though the manager has admitted it afterwards? "We went out to protect it after half time. I put them in the wrong mode with the wrong words" That is how we play under Pardew. Always has been, always will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 He could have rotated a few players - the ones from mid-week internationals, if they were that fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I think Cabaye fucked it off today like, thought it was won (and was right). Sissoko and Remy played 90 mins between them for France aside IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the results will rightly say he deserves it. Performances maybe not but beating Chelsea and Tottenham will swing it.

NUFC Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 would have been more comfortable if Sissoko had taken his two chances & Cisse hadn't been flagged offside (which MOTD said he was onside) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Does he get credit for 3 set piece goals in the last 5 games? Startling improvement on last year. All 3 goals scored by 6"4 monsters as he explained as well...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It takes a special kind of cautiousness to repeatedly sit on a lead when you've seen it blow up in your face so many times. The daft cunt doesn't even realise that if he set his team up the same way for 90 minutes it would generally make his job more comfortable. How many games have we won by 3+ goals under him in nearly 3 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games have we won by 3+ goals under him in nearly 3 years? Well we haven't scored 3 in a game since March i think it is. I think we've only scored 3 or more only about a dozen times in a 100 odd games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 We beat West Ham 5-0 in his first season, Man Utd and Stoke 3-0 in his second, Wigan 3-0 in his 3rd. That's it. That is an incredible record, I've been watching us for 20 years and law of averages usually dictates that even a shite NUFC side will smash a few teams every season. It just shows how laughable it is that you have the same jokers on here time and time again saying it's just some strange quirk that we always appear to sit on a lead, that the players tire, etc. A 2 goal margin is generally as good as it gets and we defend it with our lives, compare that with the Keegan quotes that surfaced on here the other day from that West Ham match FFS and you'll see why people get fucked off with what they're seeing. TLDR: Alan Pardew sucks the vast majority of fun out of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
